Abstract

This chapter examines the necessity of transcending disciplinary boundaries to better grasp the complexities of modern work. Critically assessing traditional fields—sociology, organizational psychology, labor economics, and management science—it identifies their strengths and limitations in addressing contemporary shifts like digitalization, globalization, and evolving worker expectations. By integrating emerging paradigms (e.g., digital transformation, work-life hybridization, fluid organizations), the text proposes a multidimensional framework bridging economic, organizational, social, technological, and subjective dimensions across micro, meso, and macro levels. It also discusses methodological implications, advocating for interdisciplinary, systemic research to advance a renewed science of work—one that is both theoretically robust and actionable for organizational and societal change.
